About the Savannah River Marathon
The Savannah River Marathon is held each October in North Augusta, South Carolina, with a half marathon and a 10K on the same morning. All three races start and finish at the Sharon Jones Amphitheater in Hammond's Ferry, follow the North Augusta Greeneway, cross the Savannah River and continue on the River Levee trail in Augusta, Georgia. The marathon is four laps of the loop and the half marathon is two. Entries are capped at a few hundred runners across the three distances, and the time limit is six hours.
